There is no dearth of variety
In our search for order,
The beauty of human diversity,
We perceive as chaos and disorder.
It starts with the body,
Sex, colour and build;
Then we get inside the head,
Culture, ideology and even sexuality.
The virus of man-made labels;
Has reached epidemic proportions,
Having caused more human deaths
Than diseases and natural disasters.
Religion and nationality,
May be the worst of the lot;
Having the dubious distinction,
Of the highest mortality rate.
The disease has many symptoms;
With pride being the most common,
An intangible measure of human vanity
That has brought untold damage to humanity.
